With four starters from last season’s NCAA tournament team having exhausted their eligibility, there’s a lot of playing time up for grabs for the Wyoming Cowboys as they approach the start of practices. One player looking to earn minutes for Larry Shyatt is redshirt sophomore guard Trey Washington III, who sat out all of last season due to a lingering foot injury.

Unfortunately for Washington his return to the court hit a bump in the road, as it was reported Friday that he’s been sidelined with a knee injury. The good news is that the MRI on Washington’s knee showed that there was no major damage, and he’s been declared to be “day-to-day” by team trainer Lance Schuemann. Washington suffered the injury during individual workouts.

Wyoming returns Josh Adams (12.8 ppg, 3.3 rpg, 3.6 apg), who led the team in assists and was second in scoring behind Los Angeles Lakers draft pick Larry Nance Jr. as a junior. But after him, no returning Cowboy averaged more than 3.7 points per game (guard Jason McMenamen).

As a freshman in 2013-14 the 5-foot-11 Washington played in 29 games as Wyoming’s backup point guard, averaging 3.0 points in just under ten minutes per game.
